Jim Clark, the founder of Netscape, had a great idea in 2013 when he donated $800,000 to Sail to Prevail, The National Disabled Sailing Program in Newport, RI. This donation was an equal amount to his annual racing budget for his J-Boat, Hanuman.
If each of us donated an amount equal to our "fun" budget, whatever that may be, we could make a HUGE difference throughout Anne Arundel County.
